President and Chief Executive Officer’s Comments

Carlos P. Naudon, Ponce Financial Group, Inc.’s President and CEO, stated “We continue to execute on our strategy of prudent growth and incremental profitability. Our diluted earnings per share of $0.50 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, doubled from the same period last year driven by incremental net interest income and non-interest income while keeping non-interest expenses almost flat. Our net interest margin this quarter increased by 29 basis points compared to the prior quarter, reflecting both our high-yielding construction loans and our decreasing borrowing costs. Our non-performing loans also decreased this quarter. All-in-all, a very good quarter in these turbulent and uncertain times."

Executive Chairman’s Comment

 

Steven A. Tsavaris, Ponce Financial Group’s Executive Chairman added “We continue to make progress towards our commitments under the U.S. Treasury’s Emergency Capital Investment Program. As we previously communicated, given our level of originations from April 2024 to March 2025, we have ensured another year of the lowest possible preferred stock dividend of 0.50%. Regarding next year’s dividend period, we’re at 69% of the goal to qualify for the 0.50% rate with three more quarters to go. Also, we’re mindful of our percentage of deep impact lending, as we need to be at 60% or above for 16 quarters cumulatively, as a condition to buy the preferred stock back. After 12 quarters, including the quarter ended June 30, 2025, we are at 80% deep impact lending.”

The $0.1 million increase of net income for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 was attributed mainly to increase of $2.2 million in net interest income and a decrease of $0.1 million in provision for income taxes while remaining flat on non-interest expense, partially offset by an increase of $1.9 million in provision for credit losses and a decrease of $0.3 million in non-interest income.

 

The $2.9 million increase of net income for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024 was largely due to increases of $6.5 million in net interest income, partially offset by increases of $2.5 million in provision for credit losses, $0.7 million in provision for income taxes and $0.2 million in non-interest expense and a decrease of $0.2 million in non-interest income.
